I love everything Christmas. Well, just about. That Elf on the Shelf is a little bit creepy looking, and I don’t have the time for coming up with ideas to compete with all the Pinterest posts on what other people do with theirs. Nor do I wish to clean up the mess involved in simply copying what said people do.

I didn't sign up for that. Nobody told me that was required. When did I agree to do this? I just want to write a novel. “I don't want to be a pirate!”

Other tasks get in the way, some growing exponentially, and the next thing I know, a month has slipped by, and I have less energy and less room in my clothes than I did 30 days ago. *Double sigh*

The 80’s was a significant decade of my youth. ... It was also a decade where I was still a kid under my parents’ roof, and therefore their rule.
